fixed cars, Daisy thought an engineer wasactually an engine, and Paula thought engineers designed, drew, and made/built things. After theengagement, the students had more informed, accurate perceptions. Thus, the assertions made inthis study are supported by the construct that learning takes place in a context4. In this study,student learning was situated within a context that teachers provided through authenticengineering learning activities. As the data indicated, students developed new skills and gainednew knowledge and understanding of engineering and, in some cases, even mastered andtransferred their learning to new situations. This work reinforces the link between the idea oflearning being situated and the need for authentic learning

factors such as extra work in otherclasses and unfair grading. Because most students are in a dualistic developmental stage, manyof the traditional methods of college life, independence, developing self-regulation, accuratelyassessing what is known and not known, and utilizing peers are difficult to master. When themethods are not mastered, they are perceived as personal rebukes on a student’s own personrather than an assessment of their learned knowledge. Implications for future programs point to the way students learn techniques for academicimprovement. This is an important issue considering the overall low scores from the Learningand Study Strategies Inventory (LASSI) surveys indicating students were not using effectivestudy and

Those same aspects apply to the libraryorganization as well. It’s the librarian’s responsibility to place the staff person in a position towin. This means that they must use all the resources that are available to them to support theirstaff. This means providing training in a systematic way that allows the staff member enoughtime to master each task they undertake. The more hands-on repetitions the librarian or staffmember makes, the more confident they become, and the more they will contribute to theorganization.
